GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE, JR.
How He Has, Been Rewarded for His In
genuity.

How He Has Been Rewarded for His In
genuity.
The Westinghouse air brake has carried
the name of its inventor to every land in
which is found the iron rail, even the cars of
the single railroad in Japan use this brake.
Mr.. Westinghouse has given his attention to
other mechanical appliances until a list of
his inventions covered by patents now num-
Der 1000. The subject to which he has
given his latest attention is the utilization OF
natural gas, and in this he has so well sue
ceeded that gas is about the only fuel burned
in P~ittsburg.
1t Is only fifteen years since Mr.. Westing-
house began the manufacture of his own in
ventions; to-day his factories are located on
two continents, giving employment to be-
tween 5000 and 1000 men. About 1879 the
Westinghouse air brake works We're erected
at Pittsburg. Two years later branch works
were established in England, and since then
works nave been built at Paris and in Ger
many.
After the brake manufactures were or
ganized so the whole railway world could be
supplied with his invention, Mr. Westing-
house turned bis attention TO other fields. The
Union Switch and Signal company next came
into existence, fol-
lowedb the West
Mssp&sssA inghouse Machine
nus company, later the
NsEEN Philadelphia Nat
EsMsE %erT5s EEN ural Ga company
NA and about Il year

@NN Ip number of men
GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE. employed in the
different works is about as follows:
The air brake company employs about
1900, the Union Switch company $50
men, the machine company $50 and the cleo
| trio company 500. The number employed by
the natural gas company varies from about
400 in winter to 2 1000 in summer or the pipe
laying season.
Many people have an idea that Mr.. West
inghouse struggled from poverty to his pres
ent millions. This was not the case. He is
the son of a Schenectady, N. Y, manufact-
urer of agricultural implements. Re
graduated from Cornell in 1861. He enlisted
in the civil war first as engineer on the war
ship Mustwetah and afterward as q member
of a New York cavalry regiment. His ex-
perience in repairing railroad wrecks after
Confederate raiders suggested to him a device
for replacing derailed cars. This was the
beginning of his career as an inventor. IEs
settled in Pittsburg and has since lived there.
Mr.. Westinghouse home is situated Just
outside the Fittsburg city limits. 1t is mis-
named Solitude for Mrs. Westinghouse is a
most charming hostess and their residence is
the scene of many and brilliant social gather
ings. Receptions are held every Friday and
the Westinghouse Inner parties are said to
be elegance itself. Mrs. Westinghouse was a
Miss Walker of New York. She has but one
child, a boy of 8 years.

Four Miles
FROM THE
HOTEL RYAN,

Beautifully situated on the north
east banks of Lake Phalen, and
trayersed by the Duluth and Central
Wisconsin railways, is destined at
an early day to be to the Phalen
district what Merriam Park is to
the Midway district. The land is
high and level, furnishing a good
view of the lake, portions of the
city and the surrounding country.
The Duluth Railroad company are
now leveling and Strengthening
their lines, and before a year will
have a double track laid, thus
affOrding half-hourly trains to and
from the city, and will make the
fare each way about the same rate
as is at present charged on the
street car lines. The fact that the
Duluth shops, which will cost in the
neighbOrhO0d of from 100000 to
$3.50, 900, are now under process of
construction, together with other
manufacturing establishments that
are sure tObe located at this point, is
not the only drawing card for Glad
stone, as it has many natural ad-
yantages not offered by any other
suburban locality. among which
may be mentioned the beautiful
Lake Phalen with its parks and
boulevard system, the smaller b ut
very pretty Gladstone lake, also
Spoon lake, Round lake, and within
a couple of miles are Lake Ger
vais, Kahlman's lake and others.
There is to-day no other property
in the suburbs of st. Paul that has
a brighter future before it than
Gladstone, and those wishing to
make sure investments will find it
to their advantage to investigate
this property. For full particulars

furious bubbling and kissing. In few
moments a lighted paper produced the
anXiouSly looked for result. The gas
had forced itself through the crumbling
clay and sand, and the Seventy-fve
feet of water and broke forth from the
iron tube furious yet beautiful flame
three feet long and foot wide at its
upper extremity. The tube being
cleared by the drill the fame increased
IN force and intensity, and the party
being ready for a lunch, big pot OF
coffee, enough for the entire party of
twenty-five. was brought and boiled by
the gas flame. Inch tubing was then
attached to the main pipe, and its being
dark it was extended through window
into Mr.. ScOtt's residence. The gas
was then again lighted. 1t was much
stronger than when lit at the well. The
flame was as large in circumference as
a palm leaf fan, but longer. 1t burned
brilliantly until 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and until the pipe was removed
from the room. The flame was in
tensely hot, a lead pencil being con-
sumed in few seconds. Another
larger sized well is being drilled
on the same premises. The wells
of that region, like those of
this city. are all impregnated
with gas and strange phenomenon is
reported by the farmers. Whenever
the wind is in the south the water of
the well is blackened and the taste is
unpleasant. There are a dozen open
wells there now from which flames will
stream forth when lighted. The same
indications exist all the way from Free
born Lake to Albert Lea, the extent of
the natural gas area being thus very
large. While the present veins are
strong enough to force the imprisoned
gas great distance, it is proven that
still lower veins, those below the rock
stratum, are much stronger. Means
will at once be adopted to sink wells
1000 feet or more if found advisable.
The developments, while familiar to the
farmers, are strangely exciting to peo-
pie here. The existence of gas has
been well known, but the truth is it
has not been appreciated until few
enterprising citizens have taken an
earnest interest in it. There will be no
lack of interest in the future.

DULUTH, Aug. 9.-The natural gas
fever has taken firm hold here. Three

The Volunteer Wins.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. 9.-The
Volunteer crossed the winning line at
7:40 a. H., winner of the $500 cup
offered by j. Pierrepont Morgan for
first-claSs slOOps in the 100-mile race of
the New York Yacht club squadron
from Martha's Vineyard to Marblehead.
When the Volunteer crossed the line
with scarcely wind enough to give her
headway, her rivals were hull down on
the southern horizon fully six miles
aStern. As the wind had been light
since yesterday afternoon, when the
yachts of the squadron were beating
around Cape Cod, and even dead calm
prevailed for hours at a time along the
south shore during the night, this result
shows the splendid work of the new
sloOp in light winds. while her wind

Outp0inted every competitor, proves her
to be without a rival under such cOndi-
tions. As the Volunteer approached
the line she drifted along with scarcely
breeze enough to keep her headway.
but she finally brought up at the line
safe and easy winner, twenty-four and
three-fOurthS hours from starting. As
she passed laZily into the harbOr she
was carrying mainSail working and top
sails, and even with all this canvass she
seemed scarcely to move. In she
drifted. however, and at SIS, when she
dropped anchor off the Eastern Yacht
club house, she was Saluted by the guns
on all the yachts in the harbOr and by
cheers from thrOngS of people now
gathered on the shore. The Puritan

HUNTED DOWN.
Breaking Up of a Tough Gang in
Wisconsin.

LANCASTER. Wis. Aug. 9.-For the
last two years gang of rOughs have in
tested the township of Waterloo, Grant
county, a.thriving farming community.
The inhabitants have lost considerable
live stock, and their smoke houses and
other buildings have been systematic
ally robbed. A detective, Charles Ber-
rett, of Lancaster, was hired by the
Waterloo citizens, and he succeeded in
getting what he claims to be evidence
against Anthony Oglesby, Frank Swartz,
James Kilby, James Greenwood, Will
lam Robinson and Aaron ChaSe-nearly
all of them thriving young farmers with
families. Oglesby and Chase have been
arrested and are in Jail here. The 9th
erS took to the woods and officers are
now after them. When the detective
and his son came down on the men last
evening they fled for the woods. The
son fired at Kilby with shot gun, knock
ing him over, but although he arose and
run on, he is supposed to be badly
wounded. 1t is believed there will be
some shooting done tonight, as the sit
uatiOn is such that meeting between
the officers and fugitives will likely take
place. Kilby, the wounded man. is sup
posed to be the leader of the gang. He
is highly connected. There are nine
cases of burglary charged against the
gang.

of the partisanShip. 1t is stated on good
authority that the appointment of a
new incumbent to that office will be re-

who the appointee is to be is not made
